Limonium duriusculum
Limonium duriusculum is a perennial sea lavender from the western Mediterranean that forms basal rosettes and small purple flower sprays; it is best known as an invasive weed in California salt marshes rather than a garden plant.
Limonium duriusculum, the European sea lavender, is a species of flowering plant in the family Plumbaginaceae, native to the western Mediterranean region of southwestern Europe. Introduced to California, it has become an invasive species in coastal salt marshes, where it threatens native vegetation and endangered species habitat.
Limonium duriusculum is native to the western Mediterranean, occurring in France, Spain, the Balearic Islands, and Sardinia. In its native range, it inhabits coastal areas including salt marshes and rocky shores.
